Winner of Eli’s Cartoon Caption Contest No. 200
“Mr. Nagle, your psychiatrist says it’s time for you to go in.”
(by Michael Lomazow)
My original caption: “Mr. Nagle is still busy, but his flunky can see you now.”
Congratulations, Michael Lomazow, on this, your fourth victory. Your caption caused a delayed reaction laugh — it took me a few moments to understand, but I really appreciated it once I realized where your gag was coming from. Well done! Once again, you can bask in the glory of being one of the funniest people around.
Here are the other captions that I was considering for top honors:
“He’ll talk to you now. Here’s the phone.” (by Pat Foley)
“Be patient. He’s having a bad ‘here’ day,” (also by Pat Foley)
“Ehay ookslay ikelay a otaltay oserlay!” (by Marc Eliot Stein)
“Sorry to bother you sir, but your patient’s patience is wearing thin waiting for your meeting.” (by Diane Weisman)
“Sorry, Rich is on an important call about niblicks vs. mashies.” (by Kelly)
“Your 9 o’clock firing is here.” (by Rich Wolf)
“He wants to know if you brought smoke and mirrors, or a dog and pony.” (by Mark S.)
“He loves a good joke. Call him Mr. Bagel and watch his reaction.” (also by Michael Lomazow)
